Ingredients

Servings
  • 3/4 cup lemon juice fresh
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup butter cut into pats, salted

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk lemon juice, lemon zest, granulated sugar and eggs together.

  3. Remove from heat and pour into jars. Store in refrigerator until ready to use.

Notes

  • RECIPE NOTE: Be sure to use a whisk that reaches all the way into the corners of the pot you're using to prevent the eggs from cooking/scorching in those corners, giving you lumps. I have found a flat whisk works great for this!
